Watermelon Flesh (abstract)

Karyn Indursky

Clanking high heels hit
heated pavement in accelerating
movements while long rivets
of Kentucky hair flies
with blue grass eyes
widening in horror as
her heart races furiously
at hearing her predator
catching up to her
softly wrapped silk dress
floating around her sweaty
hands holding up embroidered
trim while she picks
up speed to get
away from this wretched
vulture salivating at thoughts
about biting her and
this brute is chompping
onto her midnight blue
dress worn as a
second skin when she
stands hopelessly watching her
intruder corner her without
any flashing red exits
to gloriously slip away
from having this dog
transform into its original
form of being poetry
sinking its fangs into
watermelon flesh.
